CCEL Footnote 447 (In-Text, Margin)

... holy men do not eat or drink with women, nor are we waited on by women or by maidens, nor do women wash our feet for us, nor do women anoint us, nor do women prepare our bed for us, nor do we sleep where women sleep, so that we may be without reproach in everything, lest any one should be offended or stumble at us. And, whilst we observe all these things, “we are without offence to every man.” As persons, therefore, “who know the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are made manifest.”[2 Corinthians 5:11]
